Where Islam spreads, freedom dies

Lars Seidensticker, chairman of the Berlin regional association of the anti-Islam Pro Deutschland movement, was attacked while putting up political posters in the street with party colleagues. The masked attacker sprayed acid in his face. Seidensticker was later treated in hospital for injuries to his left eye but appears to have suffered no permanent damage. He will resume political campaigning immediately.

The attacker has been described as a left-wing extremist rather than a Muslim.
